The Woden Town Centre provides significant services and facilities for multiple districts and we encourage residents from the south to come along and participate in conversations about the issues facing the centre.
The budget provides $3.5 million to design the light rail terminus on Callam Street and link it with the Woden bus interchange. As you know, there are numerous issues around public transport with the delay of light rail and the new bus network.
Minister Fitzharris is also responsible for health and we will be seeking updates on the plans for the hospital, the hydrotherapy pool and the CIT site opposite the hospital. Many members of the community are keen to use the CIT site for allied health and education and we are keen to hear your views about opportunities for the site. The WVCC would like to understand the options for the site before it is demolished.
The budget also provides $1.75 million to plan and design a community facility. Woden Community Service will be the primary beneficiary of this facility due to the need to provide appropriate accommodation for the delivery of their vital community programs.
We will also seek to ensure the facility meets the broader needs for the community for meeting rooms, the arts and events. Funds will also be available for a significant upgrade of a playground in Torrens.
